The Percentage Of Working Age Men That Do Not Have A Job Is Similar To The Great Depression

>Why are so many men in their prime working years unemployed? The Obama administration would have us believe that unemployment is low in this country, but that is not true at all. In fact, one author quoted by NPR says that “it’s kind of worse than it was in the depression in 1940″. Most Americans don’t realize this, but more men from ages 25 to 54 are “inactive” right now than was the case during the last recession. We have millions upon millions of strong young men just sitting around doing nothing. They aren’t employed and they aren’t considered to be looking for employment either, and so they don’t show up in the official unemployment numbers. But they don’t have jobs, and nothing the Obama administration does can eliminate that fact.

As a proud NEET I only have one thing to say: oops!

Millions of young males have left the workforce and civic life

>Labor Day is an appropriate moment to reflect on a quiet catastrophe: America is now home to a vast army of jobless men who are no longer even looking for work—roughly seven million of them age 25 to 54, the traditional prime of working life.

>This is arguably a crisis, but it is hardly ever discussed in the public square.

>What do unworking men do with their free time? Sadly, not much that’s constructive. About a tenth are students trying to improve their circumstances. But the overwhelming majority are NEET Time-use surveys suggest they are almost entirely idle—helping out around the house less than unemployed men; caring for others less than employed women; volunteering and engaging in religious activities less than working men and women or unemployed men. For the NEETs, “socializing, relaxing and leisure” is a full-time occupation, accounting for 3,000 hours a year, much of this time in front of television or computer screens.

>There are the social effects, too. The male retreat from the labor force has exacerbated family breakdown, promoted welfare dependence and recast “disability” into a viable alternative lifestyle. Among these men the death of work seems to mean also the death of civic engagement, community participation and voluntary association.

>This is a grave social ill. Strangely, nearly everyone—the news media, major political parties, intellectuals, business leaders, policy makers—has managed to overlook it. The urgency of the moment is to bring this invisible crisis out of the shadows.

>Imagine how different America would be today if another roughly 10 million men held paying jobs. It is imperative for the future health of the country to make a determined and sustained effort to bring these detached men back—into the workplace, into their families, into civil society.

wait whos gonna support all those single moms now with those milions of niggers and arabs and white men not working? this is racist and chauvinist

The ones with the money - the (((government))), the (((financial institutions))) and the (((corporations)))

I'm probably worse than a NEET anyway. I'm 27 and basically just a professional student. I've even had professors ask me if I'm mentally alright and everything lol

Our leaders would rather import illegals for grunt work and temps for skilled work. The subsidies and tax breaks that could have gone to these industries to make them more viable for the native population are instead spent on the military industrial complex and other globalist projects. All for the 1%.

Is having the world's best and brightest 1% really worth it if your middle class disappears? Is that much income inequality sustainable? Double nigger.

This MGTOW faggotry threads are annoying as fuck. 'Look guys, everybody is missing us and our alpha presence' every fucking time.

NEET here, age 20. My last job was 8 months ago, retail. I choose not to work because there are no jobs that A) Aren't retail/fast-food and B) Don't involve literal back-breaking work in the sun for 10 hours a day with a bunch of Mexicans and alcoholics, and

pro tip if any article suggests that the recession was as bad or worse than the great depression, they are fishing for clicks and full of shit

yes my job sucks but i don't have to wait hours in line for a slice of bread and i don't have to boil my water over a makeshift tinfoil stove.

Working outside is actually pretty nice. You'll sleep better and be less depressed overall.

See to understand why.

NOOB. I'm 34 and still a professional student.

I met a guy at walmart the other day who told me how he's bored and wants to work but he recieves more money in unemployment than he would at an entry level job.

He's white and rides a nice motercycle, but may be somewhat mentally handicaped.

Oh I'll be getting there soon. Though I would like to stop doing shitty undergrad programs and actually get into a grad program

Mommy takes care of me.

Being neet is comfy :3

that was me

I ain't no tard bro just a little slow.

I just do odd jobs from time to time.

Reason being is that I'm probably never going to reproduce or marry. Women have made it clear they don't particularly like me, so what reason do I have to bust my ass at a full time job?

I'll enjoy what aspects of my life I can enjoy.

>The Percentage Of Working Age Men That Do Not Have A Job Is Similar To The Great Depression

I'm one of those men, skilled and with my house bought and paid for.
After a lifetime of MY government telling me they have to destroy my culture because 'we won't do the jobs' I finally put them to the test, and now I really won't do my job.
Selling up and watching from afar.

This is my thought process verbatim.

I tried looking for work, but the response rate is fucking atrocious. I've probably filled out at least 100 job applications, and I've gotten less than ten responses. One of my friends with a PhD sent out at least a hundred job applications, and got only a few responses.

Most of these jobs end up being filled by recommendation, not random internet job applications, which means you have to have friends to get a job. For NEETs on Sup Forums, that makes it all but impossible to get work.

And that's part of the problem. American institutions and communities are falling apart, in addition to exported jobs and a weak economy. If you wanted to work with someone rich or powerful in the past, you could just attend his church. Now, nobody goes to church anymore.

>Reason being is that I'm probably never going to reproduce or marry. Women have made it clear they don't particularly like me, so what reason do I have to bust my ass at a full time job?

Pretty much the same for me. I'm a hapa, half Japanese half white. I've been excluded from white and Asian social groups my entire life. I've only ever had one girlfriend. I'm 29 and still a virgin. I only have one friend, who I don't even like all that much, we just hang out and play Yu-Gi-Oh cards, a game which I don't even like too much anymore. The other friends I have are just guys I play role-playing and board games with, they aren't close friends, and probably wouldn't give a damn if they never saw me again.

Why should I participate in a society that hates me and never wanted to be friends with me? I'm 29 and a virgin, the odds of me ever getting married or reproducing are slim.

So no, I won't be participating in society if society is just going to treat me like this. I'm a semi-NEET, making only about $7000 a year by selling shit on Amazon and Ebay. So I'm technically considered employed by the government.

1) The government is telling us it's okay to be failures, they will give us NEETBUX.

2) The failure of diversity, nobody wants to work just to have all their tax dollars deducted and sent towards brown people who despise them.

Just graduated Chemist, tfw 90% of the jobs I apply require 5 years experience for $14/hr as an entry level. Tfw no replies to my applications...

Hoping the world will burn. Then I will stake my claim.

Basically the working world = we're doing you a favour by giving you a job and we really want to fuck you over with shit skins. With that attitude they need to die.

It's horse shit. I worked four months with a construction company. The labor and heat made me want to kill myself more than any other job ever has, it was worse even than the monotonous drudgery of a factory job. Those shitty jobs take up too much of your time and don't pay enough to be worth it unless you have zero alternative options.

THIS. you gotta know someone. it sucks

lol that's what I graduated as too. I majored in chem, minored in physics. I'm doing mechanical engineering now though.
I've basically wasted a huge chunk of my life on school and most people think I'm crazy for going back again now but oh well.

>I'm a hapa, half Japanese half white. I've been excluded from white and Asian social groups my entire life.
>Blaming being eurasian for not having social groups

And all the other jobs not filled by nepotism are dominated by staffing agency contracts. The staffing agencies don't give a shit about the workers, they just hire people on to work them like a dog with long hours and low pay just to lay them off in a couple months. Is their next job offer too far away with too low pay for you to accept it? Too bad, get fucked. Now you can't get unemployment because they did offer something and you refused it. They knew you couldn't take it, too. They just offered it so they wouldn't have to pay you unemployment.

Everyone in my family got their jobs by knowing someone. Hell, even I got my first and only job because of my dad.

I'm pretty close to just telling people I will volunteer quality control for a few months with no pay just so I can get the experience

25 here

havent had a job in 3 years

whats the fucking point, everyone hates us anyway.

im in school at least

Education systems in the current year teach you to be a nice guy first and have employable fulfilling skills second.

working will be obsolete in 20 years NEETs are ahead of the curve

are neetbux real?

>proud NEET
You aren't proud of yourself, you don't even understand what pride is. You have nothing to be proud of, you should just lay low and be thankful that there are people who do you to work to fund your very sad life. I hope you get better soon, OP.

I'm really glad I never went to college /uni. I might be working a shit job but at least I'm not in debt.

They are in Finland.

52 here, no job in 6 years since I got divorce raped. Can't imagine how I can ever work again. Would have to pay the first $25,000 a year to the ex.

im 26 and an electrician. make 6 figures. have a gf. my coworkers are all bros and i enjoy what i do pretty interesting stuff wiring up building controls. opportunity wears overalls you neet scum

Yeah it's all the gov't code education I got fucked on. My uni never taught us any of that stuff.
I'm doing mech. eng. at a technical school to get a diploma, though it does transfer to a bachelors if I want. But they at least teach you government and provincial code and such which is absolutely necessary to get a job.
I'm not sure if it's just cause I didn't work hard enough to get internships during school, even though there was only ever like one or two posted, but it does seem like I either fucked up or the degree program just plain sucks.

I'm 24 and I make $120k as a researcher. Stop crying, beta faggots, I'm sure you'll make it someday, too (pffff!)

What you research?

Machine learning.

Search for an apprenticeship

New and exciting ways to suck dick.

Niggers going from lowly employed to unemployed doesn't effect the economy all that much. Nigs 'gon nig.

This, desu. I'll probably die before her, so no worries about what I would do when she's gone.

how hard is it to immigrate from US?

This.

We wouldn't have this problem if we didn't have so many fucking spics moving in.

There are two reasons for this.

1. Less spics means less need for extra housing. On average, spics reproduce at a rate much higher than whites, and also live in urban and suburban environments more often than rural. This is the demand side.

2. Spics drive down the wages for labor workers because there are so damn many of them. This is the supply side.

We've essentially upended any potential planning (white people are quite good at planning) by changing both sides of the supply/demand equation, and because spics often move around a lot (often over state lines) you reduce the ability of governments to plan for changes in population because these people have no documentation for them to make projections based off of.

Remove illegal immigrants and you improve the quality of datasets IMMENSELY.

This concludes the spic side economics lesson of the spic-nig cycle.

Are you me!?

>machine learning

lol, you plug datasets into EMR

wow, much sciense
such algorithm

If you want close friends, you should try being a close friend to someone else. Put in the effort to get to know people and shit.

I've seen this gallery posted before:

Not sure how well it works.

Typical american education everybody!

What province?

You should try looking for Lab tech jobs, user. I'm assuming based on requirements that you're looking at R&D or QA positions and they tend to want lots of experience/education.

It's not a great market, took me around 16 months to find work after graduating last year but I make $16/hr with only a summer internships worth of experience. (And lots of overtime available if I want to make a bit more) Better jobs pay around $21-24 for only 1-2 year experience.

And it gets better in more rural areas. You can get a $24/hr job with very limited lab experience.

You are autistic.

As much as is required to do science.

5% unemployment doesn't seem that bad.

Wish I could go to.america

Unemployment doesn't count people who have given up and stopped looking for jobs. Actual % is higher.

Fun fact: for capitalism to work properly, about 5% of the population should be unemployed. Otherwise there will be inflation which will lead to economic problems.

Not a socialist myself, but it is interesting that our system depends on people being unemployed

read economics in one lesson and apply some common sense to it

>your own government taxes the fuck out of you and gives money to illegals and criminals
>jobs are hard to get without connections
>work is no longer based around how efficient you are or what you can do, but instead how well you can talk to people
>benefits are in some cases easy to get on, people can also leech off other people

in the end you have a situation where people are functionally working for ~$300 a week (income from work minus base income) to get screamed at and do bullshit busywork for hours with barely any benefits and shit working conditions

women working also factors in (double the workforce, same number of jobs, your choices are either segment up jobs to give everyone one or have 50%+ unemployment)

i don't blame anyone who doesn't want to work, especially people with poor social skills or disabilities.

it's way worse here in australia btw, never raise the minimum wage. if you can't add more than 17 dollars an hour in value you're not going to have a job. practically all minimum wage unskilled labor jobs are done by children since they have a lower minimum wage

>theeconomiccollapseblog

Still much better than here 14/15% and youth unemployment almost 30%

>kick in the butt to start improving yourself

Yeah. Ballooned up to 300lbs and now down to 198lbs. Lifting, reading, writing, improving. I had to touch the bottom to start climbing again. Not for women, kids or marriage. Just because I need to climb the ladder.

t. CIA man

honestly I think those might be better than our real numbers

>Want to contribute to society
>Get leukemia

That trannie has the butt of a rubber doll, but I kind of like it desu

Not exactly apples to apples, but this happens on campus all the time. I have a secure PhD position, but the neighboring lab regularly has students do volunteer work for six months to a full year before they are accepted into the program.

Thing is the government here also hides the real number. people that quit looking for job don't count and usually when you are unemployed they force you to do this useless courses and while you attend them you also don't count to the statistics.

First google result so who knows how accurate this is, but it doesn't look that much worse even including people who have given up looking for work. 6.2% vs 4.9%

(Sup Forums is a board of peace and all statements I make are artistic works of fiction)

fuck off big brother

Ontario so it's not so bad just a lot of online applying which I don't quite like. I'd rather walk into their office ask them if they have positions open and hand in my resume but I understand not wanting stacks and stacks of resumes. I live a few hours north of Toronto as well so I don't really have the option to hand in a physical if I could so other than that I can call the company and ask like HR for someone to talk to but god does it feel degrading to beg like that.

Ok so you make about $65,000. Gotta love your money dropping.

How the fuck do you even afford that?

There's no need ot be so jelly, user.

>wait whos gonna support all those single moms now with those milions of niggers and arabs and white men not working?

You think that's a joke but

npr.org/2016/09/06/492849471/an-economic-mystery-why-are-men-leaving-the-workforce

Because the important thing isn't why those men are exiting the workforce and how to help them but rather that it would strain the social safety net and economic growth.

Maybe if I got a fucking response from my applications on your website, Sinclair, I'd be working. Fuck's sake my brother is applying to lower quality jobs that normally get filled by women like dispatcher and state court clerk or DMV and he's getting rejected.

You rack up debts until you're ready to debt-dodge and just never repay them lol

S-source no homo.

I knew a girl like that, she got the Luke in the middle of basic combat training. Poor girl

I'm genuinely, really fucking surprised that this thread hasn't been fucked by the "Right wing retards" autistic leaf. Every thread that suggests that Americans economy is bad under Obama he seems to show up

>why should I participate in a society that hates me and never wanted to be friends with me
Do it to spite them, it's a good feeling.

I dropped out of microbiology to go into nursing because the job prospects were better and I was more interested in medical fields anyway. Gods, I hope this was the right decision.

irl shitposting

> nursing because the job prospects were better and I was more interested in medical fields anyway.

Does a dindu dindu nuffin? Shit nigger you'll be fine, medical field is one that you can be guaranteed will not be run into the ground for decades to come.

Well no, I guess they can import third worlders to be nurses too. God knows they will, but that bit of gallow's humor aside you've chosen a good field.

That's fucked. Are you planning on killing yourself?

Highschool just started the fall semester

You don't have to kill yourself, you just have to emigrate. After like 10 years or so the government sells your debt to a debt collection agency and you are no longer obligated to pay it anymore.

Despite being well educated and making good money, I'm always one step away from totally checking out. Society can offer nothing to the 99% except bread and circuses.

>Fuck's sake my brother is applying to lower quality jobs that normally get filled by women like dispatcher and state court clerk or DMV and he's getting rejected.
So you're admitting that women are intentionally given low quality jobs by the patriarchy? And your brother is trying to take even that from them by filling the position? Fucking scumbag misogynist...

Why not live a life of leisure? This society can offer you NOTHING. The game is rigged. If you're smart, society wants to put a yoke around your neck!

>>Wish I could go to.america

Why don't you move here. We could use more white immigrants, even here in leafland.

THIS JUST IN: Millions of lazy americans don't want to be good little goys and be worker bees until they die
IN OTHER UNRELATED NEWS: Value of the dollar 3 times lower than it was in the 80's

Again. Absolutely NO correlation.

There's nothing wrong with having an idle lifestyle, but where does the money come from?

Ultimately someone has to sacrifice their own wealth just to allow you to live out your lifestyle. How can you not feel like a pathetic leech doing that?

>Get money
>Marry a roastie
>Spend life drinking and watching TV sports
>get divorced
>become indentured servant to roastie ex wife
>must continue to work to support roastie ex wife

Nah, no thanks. I'd rather read all day and lift. But thanks for the money I receive at the beginning of every month, wagecucks :^). It's much appreciated.

>not doing anything constructive

Who wants to construct anything in the modern west? It needs to be reconstructed.

>not having a well paying easy parttime job while you live with your parents
this is the true perfect balance between wageslaving and neeting it up
